I wonder who bought a lot of the coupons? The serious players that are going to be there regardless, or a lot of casual/first-time people. Once you get the curious out to the track, I hope there is some sort of follow through to get them to the windows. To wit; they go out there, eat and drink a little, but don't know what to do after that. As we all know, the track can be a bit overwhelming to the uninitiated.

I remember quite a few years ago the local track had a drawing for a new pick-up. Every Wednesday throughout the season, the track had free admission for people to come in and enter their name each week. I ran a concession next to where they took entries. Saw a ton of folks come to the track to enter their names and then leave. It was heavily promoted, but didn't do a thing for actually getting people to the track.

Hi Shergar,
HUTI was great, but don't forget TUTI and TUMB, we need to go back to those days....we picked some good ones then, too bad ROKE ain't around:>) TJ

Roke left me a message earlier this week touting Midnight Interlude.

I called back and left a message letting him know he is effing insane.
I guess that is the pot calling the kettle black.

Hi Shergar,

OTTOMH= off the top of my head. which i actually do often when I am just watching horse racing for the fun of it. i made a wager on pacific ocean doing that today (still mad about that ride he got)
